Actress

The Resume

    (August 28, 2003- )
    Born in Houma, Louisiana
    Portrayed Hushpuppy in the 2012 film 'Beasts of the Southern Wild'

Why she might be annoying:

    Her name is very difficult to spell and pronounce (for the record, it is pronounced kwo-VEN-sha-nay).
    During auditions for the part of Hushpuppy, she lied about her age to director Benh Zeitlin, because Wallis was five years old and the director wanted someone who was age six.
    Her nicknames include Nazie (which almost sounds like Nazi) or Nayzie.
    She said that she would like to have a role on a Disney Channel original series.

Why she might not be annoying:

    The first part of her name is a combination for her parents first names.
    The second part of her name (Zhane) means 'fairy' in Swahili.
    Director Benh Zeitlin chose her for the part of Hushpuppy her strong-willed and assertive personality during the auditions.
    At age nine, she surpassed Tatum O'Neal's record at age ten to become the youngest actress nominated for a competitive Oscar (January 10, 2013).
    The satirical website The Onion called her a 'cunt' in a poorly received tweet during the 2013 Oscars. (The Onion apologized the next day.)
